LeveragedBuyout(美国)
Sure, Chinese companies don’t need to use American software if it is too expensive, but just as American companies outsourced manufacturing and software development to capture cost advantages, Chinese companies will increasingly feel the same pressure. Does America still develop software? Undoubtedly. Does it also outsource software development, and set up R&D centers abroad? Yes. I am merely stating that if China does not also take advantage of cheaper labor costs/well-educated populations abroad, then their companies will be at an increasing disadvantage. China is already no longer the low-cost champion, and it has always been the expectation that China would move up the value chain.The other issue is Chinese companies developing for China, while its global competitors develop for the world. This is another disadvantage of policies like the Great Firewall, which lead to isolated solutions for a peculiar market. Remember the lesson of Japan.当然,如果价格太贵的话,中国公司没必要用美国软件。正如美国公司把制造业和软件开发外包出去以收获成本优势,中国公司也会日益面临同样的压力。美国仍然在开发软件?毫无疑问,是的。美国仍然把软件开发外包出去,且在外国建立研发中心吗?是的。我在阐述的是,中国并未利用外国低廉的高素质劳动力,中国公司将会日益处于劣势。中国已经不是低成本的冠军了,人们一直期待中国往价值链上游攀升。另一个问题是,中国公司服务于本国市场,而全球竞争对手为世界开发软件。这是另一个劣势。长城防火墙隔离出了一个独特的市场记得日本的教训吗?
